Half Trail Marathon: Foundations & Return to Run (12 Weeks)

This 12-week program is designed for women who are building (or rebuilding) their base. Whether you're coming back from a break, recovering from injury, or stepping onto the trails for the first time, we meet you here: with structure, support, and a clear path forward.

This is one of our distance-based foundational programs, designed to prepare you for a trail half marathon with structure and support. You’ll develop endurance, technical skill, and strength: alongside mobility, recovery, and mindset tools. If you have a specific race in mind, our intro content includes guidance on how to adapt your elevation and terrain to match your goal.

The program roll out: You’ll receive immediate access to all introductory materials. You’ll also be welcomed into our Coaching Corner and Her Trails Community Hub for ongoing support. From there, each training week is released on the Saturday prior to the new week to support rhythm and progression.

Not sure if this is the right level for you?

You don’t need to be a beginner for this to be the right place to start. This program is perfect if you’re rebuilding consistency, craving structure, or looking to run strong without burnout.

If you already have a steady training rhythm, feel confident running 60+ minutes with elevation, and want to layer in more intensity: our Intermediate Half Trail Marathon program may be a better fit.
